ACETATE AND EDUCATE ARE WORDS
which symbolic the object of the order OF
Knights of Labor;in the combined elements
Of education and agitation rests the future
of Knighthood, whether the laboring masses
Of this country shall advance intellectually
and morally rests alone with them. Edu-
cation will prove to be the great healing
balm for all the fostering and cancerous
sores which disrupt labor and capital; edu
cation will make wise, thoughtful, con.
ssryatiye and judicious thinkers. and care
ful thinkers will make honest mechanics
able champions of the toilers rights, and in
this latter class of manhood and woman
hood rests alone the future of American
masses who "eat their bread by the sweat
of their brow" The day of deliveranct
will come when education has obliteratet
illiteracy, and manhood, independent, cour
ageous and determined emerges from tn,
fog of ignorance into the light of cleal
understanding.

Ex-SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
Daniel Manning is dead. He was a repre-
sentative of the typical man; above re-
proach, he was respected and honored
wherever known. His influence was not
confined to one State, but reached far and
wide throughout the entire Republic. lie
was closely identified with politics, and the
choice of the Democratic convention in
1884 was the outcome of well-deined pol
icy presented by this able and conservative
representative Of Democracy. While a
member of the Cleveland Cabinet he was a
valuable ally to the administration, and, in
fact, since his resignation from that body
he has not infrequently been consulted on
matters Of the most vital importance con-
eerning State and Nation. His death leaves
avacuum that cannot we'll be filled Though
seldom holding office, he was a statesman
foremost in this generation, and his able
councilings will be loss to the whole peo-
pie. Peace be to his ashes!

PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS WILL PLAY
their respective parts in the campaign of
1888, as the interests of party demand, but
the rapidly growing intelligence of our peo-
pie makes an independent newspaper an
indispensable necessity with them, as it
soon will be with all classes. The CARBON
ADVOCATE will, during the coming politi-
cal campaign, which gives promises of be-
ing the most exciting in the history of Am
eriean politics, present fairly and truth
fully from week to week fair resume of
what transpires in the field of politics, be-
sides publishing interesting New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Mauch Chunk,
Weissport and Packerton letters, as well as
correspondence from the various towns and
villages in the county. The subscription
price of the ADVOCATE is only S1.00, which
makes it the cheapest, largest and best
weekly country newspaper in the Lehigh
Valley. The bona ide circulation of this
journal exceeds that Of any other Carbon
country newspaper, and we are still grow
ing. We would be pleased to have you as
a subscriber.

ACCORDING To NEWSPAPER REPORTS
the miners in the Lehigh coal region are
becoming greatly dissatisfied. The failure
of the Wyoming miners to contribute more
generously to the strikers has been the
means of breeding much discomfort, which
has been augmented considerably by the
uncertain condition Of affairs along the
Reading system during the past week. The
miners have been out little less than
four months, and thus far they have gained
nothing, instead, all the industries in the
Lehigh Valley have suffered and the gener-
al trade has been almost paralyzed. Those
who suffer most by such a condition of af-
fairs are the workingmen, the majority of
whom are working but half time and many
not at all. The first of January is looked
to rs time of final settlements satisfac-
tory adjustment of the difficulties on that
day would certainly bring much rejoicing,
not alone to the miners, but the people OF
the whole Valley.

THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF APP
plicants for the commissioners clerkship;
among those we have heard mentioned in
this connection are Messrs. II. A. Beltz,
d. H. Long and Paul Wagner, of town;
G. w, Lentz, of Mauch Chunk; Thomas
Arner, Franklin, and Michael Cassidy, Of
Nesquehoning. 1t is the general opinion
with leading Democrats that Mr. Lentz
should be elected to this position; but no
matter what the result may be, any of the
above gentlemen could and would fill the
position honorably and intellizently. Let
the best man win.

UNDER THE NEW HIGH LICENSE LAW
six or seven hundred dollars will annually
find its way into the borough treasury;
whilst this is not a vast amount 1t will,
nevertheless, allow of many necessary and
important Improvements, one of which is
the macadamization of Bank street. We
have frequently urged council to take some
action on this matter, knowing as We do,
that the majority of our citizens favor it..
There is no better season than during the
winter months for careful consideration
Of what is good and best for the present
and future of our borough, and for this
reason the ADVOCATE commends to the
proper authorities the important question
Of matchmaking Bank street. There Is NO
necessity for an explanation of the essen
tial benefits which will result.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP.
The Savannah Fields Very Slim-The
Reports From Elsewhere.

The Savannah Fields Very Slim-The
Reports From Elsewhere.
The mild fall which the truck farmers
have been experiencing up to day or two
ago has been extremely favorable to the
truckers crops.
One of the crops IN which Savan-
nahians are deeply interested Is the
strawberry crop. This does not promise to
be anything like the usual yield. There
were few strawberry plants set out and
they did not do we'll so that Savannah will
have to depend largely on Florida and
Charleston for her berries.
The Carolina crop is reported to be
very promising. Owing to the continued
dry weather during the planting sea-
son, it was expected that the crop
would be almost total loss.
September and October are the usual
months for planting, but the heat and
drought killed most of the plants which
were set out at that time. The recent
heavy rains and ta late warm weather,
however, have relieved the situation of the
farmers to a very great extent. A
great deal of late planting has been
done. With the mild weather the plants
have come up very nicely and there is now
promise of Z good berry crop next spring.

partment. Barrett has a full herd of
elephants which execute military drills,
perform musical acts, whirl in may
waltzes, and form towering pyramids, at

PLENTY OF RED NOSES.
MERCURY BEATS IT'S NOVEMBER
RECORD FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS.

Yesterdays Temperature IT. Below
the Normal-Ice Forms Half an Inch
Thick and Vegetation Killed-Cotton
Picking Ended and the Sugar Season
Over-The Cold Wave Passing Of.
Mercury went down to 25' yesterday, the
lowest it has gone in November for seven
teen years. Ice half an inch thick formed
in the ponds around the city, and wherever
water was exposed it froze. Vegetation
was nipped, and the truck farmers who had
crops up suffered by the freeze.
About the only crop that there was TO
suffer was the bean crop, and that was cut
down to the ground. The early shipping
season is about over, though, and the loss is
not heavy. The frost came late, and farmers
have been on the lookout for it several days
and were prepared.
Travellers from the interior report very
cold weather and ice thick enough to stand
the entire day all along the line OF the rail-
roads. This virtually closes the cotton
picking season, as every boil that IS going To
open at all will open within the next week
All the sugar cane not already cut or buried
will have to be ground immediately ana
farmers who have raised this crop and have
not yet cut it will have busy time for
couple of weeks to come.
The coal and wood dealers got the biggest
haul out of the snap and orders came in yes
terday faster than they could be filed. The
clothing stores hung out their heavy over
coats, and the young man who didn't have
any figured on his bank to see if he could
get one. The cold came late, bHt it came
with a rush when it did come. The wave be-
gan to work off slowly last night, but 1t was
still cold weather up to midnight.
The lowest temperature was recorded ear
" yesterday morning. Killing frosts were
reported tro,e the entire eastern portion of
the United 5ba s~I Texas and the extreme
southern portion of Florida were the only
places where there was no frost. Titusville,
Fla, reported killing frost, and light
frosts occurred as far south as Tampa. The
midnight reports of the Signal Service, last
night, show that the high berome-
trio area is central over Georgia
and the low area over Nebraska. The tenn
perature is rising slowly in all districts
except in the northern portion of Mime
sofa, where another slight cold wave has
made its appea. Northwest gales are
reported from Hatteras and Key West.
The official indications for to-day are:
Warmer, fair weather, light winds, gener-
ally shifting 10 southerly.
